"It was considered as a way by which the right to self-determination could be achieved."
"Any body must also be supported by a sufficient and guaranteed budget, with access to its own independent secretariat, experts and lawyers."

So basically they wanted their own country, (nothing to do with 'unity' no wonder it was considered divisive) and they also wanted us to pay for it?

Interesting that this info had to come from a FOI request and was not offered freely to the citizens who were to vote on it.

I never dug into any of this before, can anyone else give me a quick run down?

You all want to know why I voted No, so you can stop blaming and shaming?

Because being unwilling to give all the details 'fine print', smelled both dishonest, and nefarious. That's why.
And I said this right in the beginning.

So to all the 'blamers and shamers'; you can shove it.
They try to make any excuse when they were unable to sell this to the majority on it's own merits, and they will probably push forward with this however they can anyway using UNDRIP and treaty, despite the 'NO' vote.

Lets say they do want Internal right to Self determination.
Which part of the country do we cut off and give to them, (since all of it has cultural significance) or should we all just leave, and if they have their own laws in their own lands that we need permission to enter (effectively not OUR country, no-go areas) then should we provide any further funding to them?

Maybe we should all just leave and give them everything.
What exactly do they want?

Hi AC,

"Because being unwilling to give all the details 'fine print', smelled both dishonest, and nefarious. That's why. And I said this right in the beginning."

Fair comment AC, and as a YES voter I seen that as the weakness in the YES case. I didn't want a referendum at this time to begin with, it was a tactical error on the Governments part. Legislation first for a period, with a referendum on constitutional recognition and enshrinement to follow. When it can be demonstrated that no harm was to come of it. Simply put as two questions not one as it was.

Paul, I dislike ideologies that socially divide people by race, religion, politics etc. I can respect and care for everyone. You cannot understand that.

The Yes campaign cannot give up as it is led by communists like Langton and [non-aboriginal] Mayo, and time is no object to them. Aboriginals have been given full citizenship in Australia, but some cannot accept that and want their own national identity. Being Australian does not deny them practicing their culture, but if it means returning to pre-1788, I do not think they want that - too violent. There will always be a push to change the constitution by the ideologues of Communists and Islam, to bring laws that mean Treaty and pay the rent [jizya tax]

Proud Boy Jose'

"The Yes campaign cannot give up as it is led by communists like Langton and [non-aboriginal] Mayo"

That sort of comment shows you to be such a misguided twit. If they are communists, a subject you have zero knowledge of, then you are a Fascists. You were exposed as a liar several times recently on the Forum, so give up while you're behind.
